Abe Liao named General Manager at Kimpton’s Tideline Ocean Resort & Spa in Palm Beach
Liao began his career in hospitality 13 years ago as the Assistant Banquet Manager at the Colony South Hotel in Clinton, Maryland, and joined the Kimpton Group as the Hotel Monaco’s Banquet Captain in 2004. He transitioned through several Senior Management positions in operations and sales before serving as Assistant General Manager at Hotel Rouge and Donovan House, and later Hotel Palomar, a Kimpton Hotel in Washington, D.C., where he served as Hotel Manager. As General Manager of Tideline Ocean Resort & Spa, Liao hopes to utilize his extensive sales and operations experience to bring the Kimpton culture and highly personalized service approach to Palm Beach, elevating the resort and the destination that defined sophisticated travel with amenities that meet the demands of a new and spirited traveler. A first-time Florida resident, Liao takes full advantage of the year-round mild temperatures, jogging on the beach whenever he gets the chance—a routine he plans to carry over into a Tideline program - “Morning Jogs with the GM.” A father of two, Liao remains a self-proclaimed D.C. sports enthusiast, enjoys dining out, bourbon cocktails and craft beers.
